PHP-Curl-Wrapper
================

[](#php-curl-wrapper)

Created by Weidi Zhang

About
-----

[](#about)

Easily make HTTP requests and get response information with cURL.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require weidizhang/php-curl-wrapper:dev-master

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First, require the autoloader and use the Curl class.

```
require "vendor/autoload.php";
use weidizhang\PHPCurlWrapper\Curl;

```

Create a new Curl object

```
$curl = new Curl();

```

### Changing default behavior

[](#changing-default-behavior)

```
use weidizhang\PHPCurlWrapper\Behavior;

$curl->setBehavior( ... );

```

Options: KEEP\_HEADERS, CLEAR\_HEADERS.

See src/Behavior.php to see what these do.

Default: CLEAR\_HEADERS

### Setting various cURL options

[](#setting-various-curl-options)

```
$curl->setReferer( ... );
$curl->setUserAgent( ... );
$curl->setHeader( name, value );
$curl->setHeaders( array(
	"Header1: value1",
	"Header2: value2"
) );
$curl->unsetHeader( name );
$curl->setCookieFile( filename or path );
$curl->enableSSLVerify();
$curl->disableSSLVerify();

```

### Setting custom cURL options

[](#setting-custom-curl-options)

You can pass in the option either as a constant or string.

All these do the same thing:

```
$curl->setOption(CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, true);
$curl->setOption("CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT", true);
$curl->setOption("FRESH_CONNECT", true);

```

### Making a request

[](#making-a-request)

```
$response = $curl->request( type, url, query [optional], options [optional] );

```

type = GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, etc. Custom request types are supported.

url = URL.

query = Query to send, it can be an array or string.

options = An array of curl options to set. It calls `$curl->setOption( ... );` for them.

### Getting cURL handle

[](#getting-curl-handle)

If you need access to the cURL handle for whatever reason:

```
$curl->getHandle();

```

### Handling the response

[](#handling-the-response)

Getting body data: (Both work)

```
$body = $response;
$body = $response->getBody();

```

Getting cURL request information:

```
$info = $response->getInfo();

```

Getting all headers:

```
$headers = $response->getHeaders();

```

Getting a specific header:

```
$header = $response->getHeader( name );

```

Checking for errors (Usually not necessary):

```
if ($response->hasError()) {
	$error = $response->getError();
}

```
